Can't see distance with 20/20 vision

I have my eyes checked every year.  And every year I am told my distance vision is 20/20 and no correction is needed.  So why can't I see distance?  It's all a blur and I can't read signs until I am right on them.  I am 63 years old and in good health.   Is there something my eye doctor should be looking for?  A rare or particular eye disease?   This will be my 6th annual check up to attempt to find the problem.  Help?

Have any of your doctors mentioned  cataracs.  They will blur vision.

I go to a different eye doctor every year.  I get the same story every time.
